I failed again

"I know what I'm doing. You should focus on preparing for the competition." After sending the message, Si Heng put down the communicator and walked out.

He had to urge Lin Ze to divorce as soon as possible. He didn't want to be involved in the feud between Lin Ze and Mr. Lin Erye again.

Si Heng grabbed a servant on the way and asked where Lin Ze had gone, then followed the servant's instructions and went to Lin Ze's study.

The study door was ajar and not closed tightly. Just as Si Heng was about to knock on the door, he heard Lin Ze's voice coming from inside.

"I don't intend to let him know. I'm afraid that if he finds out that it was Xia Youyan who did it, he will take revenge on Xia Youyan regardless of the consequences."

Si Heng paused while knocking on the door. What does “Xia Youyan’s hand” mean?

Si Heng took back his hand that was about to knock on the door and listened to Lin Ze inside continue to say, "I know that he was indeed wronged this time. I will compensate him later."

Si Heng stood at the door with his back to the light, an unclear expression on his face.

So, this is why Lin Ze didn’t tell me who the mastermind was?

Just because this matter was planned by Xia Youyan, and he was afraid that I would take revenge on Xia Youyan after knowing it, so he lied to me and said that the mastermind has not been found yet?

Si Heng felt very aggrieved. What about him? He was forcibly taken by Lin Ze to be used as an antidote, which caused him to have a fever, and was forced to leave a permanent mark. He was also locked up for another day, just because Lin Ze suspected that he had drugged him.

What about now? Lin Ze has already found out the truth and knows that it is not him but Xia Youyan. But he still chooses to hide the truth from himself in order to protect Xia Youyan. He lies to himself that the mastermind has not been found out yet, because he is afraid that he will take revenge on Xia Youyan after knowing the truth?

He thought that even if Lin Ze disliked him, he should still have the most basic sense of right and wrong. In the end, reality hit him hard.

No matter how despicable Xia Youyan is or how many bad things he has done, Lin Ze will still firmly choose to protect him, and to himself who has been hurt he will just say lightly, "I will compensate him later."

Lin Ze said something else afterwards, but Si Heng didn't hear a word. He stood at the door for a long time before returning to his room.

He didn't understand before, why Lin Ze didn't let him leave the manor even though it was clearly confirmed that it wasn't him. Now he understood.

This is because he was afraid that after he left the manor, someone would investigate the matter and then find out about Xia Youyan, which would be difficult to deal with at that time, so he simply continued to lock himself up in the manor.

Si Heng smiled sarcastically. Even if he really found out, what could he do? With Lin Ze protecting him, he was afraid that he would be warned by Lin Ze before he even touched a hair of Xia Youyan.

Si Heng buried his head in the pillow, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

He is obviously the most innocent victim...

Xia Youyan targeted me everywhere because I was married to Lin Ze, and Lin Ze stood on his side every time. He didn't even ask the truth and just believed what Xia Youyan said and dealt with me.

Now, he knew the truth about the drugging, but he kept it hidden from himself for Xia Youyan, and even lied to himself that the mastermind had not been found yet.

If I hadn't overheard Lin Ze's conversation with someone else by accident this time, this matter would have been suppressed by Lin Ze.

He will never know the truth.

Si Heng raised his head with red eyes, but there was nothing to be sad about. After all, he didn't have much hope for Lin Ze in the first place, right?
